I can't remember much about the first time I was in a BA lounge! Over the past 3 years I have been visiting a lot more frequently due to my Dad having a career change which caused him to travel a lot more. This meant that he was soon Silver, and as he was being paid more we could fly JER-LGW-JER for the weekend a lot more, so I started going into the lounges more.

After this, we decided to invest in CW flights to UVF (Aug 2010) as our last holiday to ANU about 10 months before was in WT. I had been in CW before on the occasional Op-Up to + from JFK and HKG but this really sold CW to my parents. The extra space made such a difference and it is a much better way to fly. We now vow only to fly CW on long haul flights and are fans of CE on EU flights apart from JER-LGW-JER short hops.

As a result, in our HHA we have one Gold, 3 Silvers and a blue!
